Atiya Moore

Atiya Moore is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and related concerns. She supports clients dealing with trauma, relationship strains, addiction, depression, and questions about identity and intimacy. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at everyday changes that reduce overwhelm and restore forward motion.

Ms. Moore draws on twenty years of experience in behavioral health settings. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered practices. Sessions may include mindfulness, breathing and somatic techniques, and practical skills for managing strong emotions like anger.

She also considers less traditional supports when useful, such as guided energy management and therapeutic gardening, alongside motivational interviewing to strengthen a person’s readiness for change. The work focuses on what gets in the way of progress, such as self-doubt, self-sabotage, and patterns passed down across generations.

The tone in sessions is collaborative and grounded. Clients can expect clear tools, reflective conversation, and experiments to try between meetings. The aim is to reduce reactive patterns and build more choice around feelings and behavior.

If someone is ready to make changes, Ms. Moore encourages taking that next step and working together to map realistic goals and actions.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anger that stems from rigid expectations or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve responses to conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or blend methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. That process may include trying different tools and checking what helps most over time.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow use of guided mindfulness or brief check-ins between in-depth meetings. Many clients use remote sessions to practice skills in real situations and bring what they try back for review in the next meeting.
